When flights are canceled or delayed, you're legally entitled to: • Refunds • Alternate transportation • Compensation for additional expenses • Reimbursement for flight-related expenses In the U.S., the Department of Transportation (DOT) requires airlines to compensate passengers for delays and cancellations. The DOT's rules do not specify an amount but require airlines to provide meals, accommodations, and transportation to and from the airport. Under European Union (EU) regulations, if your flight is canceled or significantly delayed, you may be entitled to compensation from the airline if the delay or cancellation was within the airline's control. The first thing you should do is contact the airline to determine your options. • If your flight has been canceled, many airlines offer to either reschedule your flight later or provide a full refund for the ticket. • If your flight has been delayed, many airlines offer compensation or assistance, such as meals or hotel accommodations, depending on the length of the delay and the circumstances. If you experienced a significant delay or other inconvenience, you may be able to receive additional compensation to cover any additional expenses you incurred as a result. If you cannot find a satisfactory resolution, you can file a complaint with the Department of Transportation. Save this cheatsheet:
